Your goals are laudable, go all the way, don't stop until you get there.
You will be happy that you did.
Speed and momentum are important in successfully attaining such goals.

1. First, become fluent in a dialect of Hebrew, any dialect. Modern Hebrew
is the most accessible for this and can provide a full, natural context for
rapidly using the language, something essential for deep internalization.
2. Read the texts of your periods of interest.
3. Read the articles of Kutscher, BarAsher, students and friends, many of
which are in Hebrew.
